Five Star Asian Ribs

1 cup hoisin sauce

1/2 cup plum sauce

1/3 cup oyster sauce

1/3 cup chopped green onions

1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar

1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup minced garlic

1/4 cup minced or grated giner

2 T soy sauce

2 T dry sherry

1 T Asian chili sauce

1 T toasted sesame oil

1 T grated orange zest

3/4 tsp five spice powder

1/4 tsp dried red pepper flakes, or to taste

Preheat oven to 300 F. Lightly oil a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

For the marinade, whisk all ingredients together. If you like spicy flavors, you can add more chili sauce and/or dried red pepper flakes to taste.

Spread a very thin layer of marinade in the bottom of the dish and arrange the ribs on top. Pour the remaining marinade over the ribs, turning if necessary to coat them thoroughly. This can be done up to a day ahead.

Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 3 hours. Remove the foil, increase the oven temp to 350. After 30 minutes of baking, turn the ribs once very carefully and bake for 30 minutes longer. Total baking time is 4 hours. Transfer the ribs to a platter, tent with foil and let rest for ten to fifteen minutes. Spoon the sauce from the baking dish into a serving bowl, passing it alongside the ribs for serving.
